The Tibetan Buddhist tradition begins with chanting and laying out the mandala, then placing the sand, which is painted. The monks held public meditation sessions each evening as the mandala was created. During the Aug. 20 closing ceremony, the mandala was dismantled to symbolize the belief in the transitory nature of material life. Small packets of sand were given to members of the audience.

A worker digs up cobblestones that covered a now closed stretch of 17th Street in Shockoe Bottom. The work is part of the estimated $4.3 million facelift for the Farmers’ Market area, which dates to the 1780s and is among the oldest such marketplaces in the country. The old pavilions, concrete and stones are being removed between Main and Franklin streets to create a European-style plaza with market stalls on the side and an open space for local and regional events. The outdoor setting that is to be finished next year is designed to complement the revamped Main Street Station with its grand indoor event space. Despite the work, businesses located along the street are still open and accessible by the sidewalk.
